hplip 3.14.3-0ubuntu3 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

hplip (3.14.3-0ubuntu3) trusty; urgency=low
* debian/patches/musb-c-do-not-crash-on-usb-failure.patch: Make sure that
the HPLIP components which access the USB (especially the CUPS backends
"hp" and "hpfax") do not crash when libusb fails to connect to the USB,
for example on machines without USB or with the USB kernel modules not
loaded (LP: #1302437).

Binary packages built by this source

This package contains PPD (printer definition) files for the
printers supported through the HP Linux Printing and Imaging
System HPIJS driver.
.
These PPDs should work well with the matching versions of HPLIP
and HPIJS, but may not be the most up-to-date PPDs available for
a given printer. See http://www.openprinting.org/ for the latest
version of the PPDs (which are not guaranteed to work well).

The HP Linux Printing and Imaging System provides full support for
printing on most HP SFP (single function peripheral) inkjets and many
LaserJets, and for scanning, sending faxes and for photo-card access on
most HP MFP (multi-function peripheral) printers.
.
This package contains the full documentation for the HP Linux
Printing and Imaging System for off-line reading. It includes
the documentation for the HPIJS IJS driver as well.

The HP Linux Printing and Imaging System provides full support for
printing on most HP SFP (single function peripheral) inkjets and many
LaserJets, and for scanning, sending faxes and for photo-card access on
most HP MFP (multi-function peripheral) printers.
.
This package contains utilities with graphical user interface (GUI) for
HPLIP: HP Toolbox, HP Fax, ...
.
Note that all GUI utilities are based on the Qt GUI environment. There
are currently no equivalent utilities based on GTK+.

This package contains a CUPS-Raster-based printer driver which adds support
for most inkjet printers and some LaserJet printers manufactured by HP. It
does not provide PPDs for the fax functionality of HP's multi-function
devices.
.
Users of the CUPS printing system are advised to also install the
hplip package, and use the hp CUPS backend to send data to the printer.
HPLIP supports USB, networked and parallel-port devices, and enables
extended hpcups functionality such as border-less printing.
Selecting any hpcups ppd in CUPS will use hpcups automatically.
.
No physical PPDs are shipped with this driver. PPDs are dynamically
generated via a CUPS DDK .drv file.
.
This package can be installed to provide a minimal headless printer
solution using CUPS.

This package contains an IJS printer driver for Ghostscript, which
adds support for most inkjet printers and some LaserJet printers
manufactured by HP. It is also required for HPLIP fax support.
.
The Debian package of hpijs includes the so-called rss patch, to use
pure black ink instead of composite black in printers that don't do
color map conversion in firmware.
.
HPIJS can take advantage of Ghostscript IJS KRGB support when
available, to enhance black printing on printers that do color
map conversion in firmware and are thus not affected by the old
rss patch.
.
Users of the CUPS printing system are advised to also install the
hplip package, and use the hp CUPS backend to send data to the printer.
HPLIP supports USB, networked and parallel-port devices, and enables
extended HPIJS functionality such as border-less printing.
Selecting any hpijs ppd in CUPS will use hpijs automatically.
.
HPIJS is meant to be used through the foomatic system (see the
foomatic-filters package or foomatic-rip in the cups-filters package).

The HP Linux Printing and Imaging System provides full support for
printing on most HP SFP (single function peripheral) inkjets and many
LaserJets, and for scanning, sending faxes and for photo-card access on
most HP MFP (multi-function peripheral) printers.
.
This package contains the compressed PPDs for the PostScript HP
Printers.
